Naturally Sadie is your basic Disney Channel tweener-comedy, with Sadie Hawthorne, a budding zoologist and cool nerd/Granola Girl, as the main character with her two friends Margaret and Rain join her. It was rather short-lived and a borrowed Canadian Series like Life With Derek. The series lasted from June, 2005 to August, 2007.

Tropes used by the series:

Accidental Pervert: In one episode, Rain has dental work that turns his speech into an unintelligible mumble. Every time he tries to talk to a girl, his mumbling gets interpreted as something filthy. He ends up getting sent to the principal's office, where he runs into exactly the same problem.

Enemy Mine: While not enemy's per se some of them don't get along. The show uses no less than five of these examples, and that's not including when Hal taught Sadie painting, that went in another direction..

High School Dance: When Sadie planned the school dance for komodo dragons. The end product was a room festooned in blue-and-white streamers, a refreshments table complete with punch bowl, and dancing so G-rated the teens barely touched hands.

I Am Spartacus: In "Unusual Suspects", Sadie and Dr. Finch both confess to being the one who broke into Finch's store, each trying to protect the other. Ultimately the police decide no crime has been committed and let them go.

I Broke a Nail: Sadie says in "Advanced Girl Lessons" when she is attempting to become more feminine. Played With when she then admits that she has no idea what she is supposed to do about it.

Office Sports: While cleaning the corridor during detention in "Life Cycle", Hal and Rain start playing chair hockey using rolling chairs, brooms and an aluminimum can.

Re Tool: The second season resulted in multiple changes to the show, new romantic interest for Sadie, new characters and even partly changing Sadie's character, she was a lot more of a tomboy in the first season. This all lead to an improvement in the show.
